Clifton police arrest three in robbery linked to Craigslist

Clifton police Monday arrested the last of three people accused in the robbery and assault of a teenager who arrived at the scene to respond to an ad for an iPhone on Craigslist, according to a report in The Record.

According to the report, a Morristown juvenile was arrested Monday, while an adult, Ronnie Dumas, 18, of Morristown and juvenile from Parsippany were arrested Thursday, each being charged with a count of second-degree robbery, police told The Record.

According to the report, the victim responded to an ad for an iPhone that Dumas had posted for sale on Craigslist, arranging to meet on Broad Street on Tuesday night. Dumas changed the meeting spot at the last minute to School 16 on Grove Street, claiming he had trouble with his GPS navigation unit. The victim rode up to the school, where the robbers came out of a vehicle.

The victim became suspicious and tried to leave, but he was attacked, the report said. The suspects took $220 and a Pope John Paul II gold medallion.
